5 apps for foodies and food lovers

Food is part of our day to day. We have to eat at least five times a day. But it's not just that. Lovers of good food have many opportunities to enjoy their passion Also through applications. They may do it in a restaurant, taking photos of the dishes. But also going to the market, finding a good wine to go with that cheese or locating (and trying) the best restaurants in town.

If you are passionate about food, here you have a good number of applications to tryWith some you can take photos and see what other users eat. Others will help you shop, get recipes or make good pairings. We recommend five here.

1. Foodspotting

Foodspotting is not a great app in terms of design. In fact, it would have to improve a bit in this regard. However, it is an interesting alternative if what you like most is to take and see photos of food. You can search by location, to see the best photos of the restaurants nearby.

And you have the option of using different criteria to approach the most recent dishes or the creations that are materializing thousands of chefs in restaurants around the worldLogically, you can also take your own screenshots and upload them instantly.

2. Kitchen Channel

If you are a fan of Canal Cocina and you are up to date with all its programs, it would be interesting if you downloaded this app. Because? Well, because it allows you to carry out searches in an exhaustive bank of recipes And because it offers you the possibility of filtering them by cook or program.

You will find the best recipes by David Pallí s (Chocolate), Elena Aymerich (Family Cooking), Julius (Julius's 22 Minutes) or Amanda Laporte (Homemade Desserts). The application has a correct design, but what it's really good at is the variety of options and recipes it offers If you feel like it, you can also upload your own own recipes and watch video recipes so you don't miss a single step of the dish.

3. Fork

But if yours is going to restaurants, you can't miss the El Tenedor application on your mobile. It is a basic that you cannot miss if you want to get to know and discover the best-rated restaurants in your area, make reservations from your mobile phone and get discounts. You will be able to connect through Facebook, so that in a few seconds you will already be inside.

The application has a modern and clear design, which will allow you to easily search and find restaurants. Once inside, you can click on the one that interests you the most. And then see the ratings, photos and opinions If you like it you can book directly and earn points to get discounts on future reservations.

There are not all the restaurants that we would like to see. The selection is very specific. And this is, in fact, one of the main drawbacks of this app. If you like to go to trendy places, this is a good option.

4. Hatcook

Before it was called What am I cooking today?, but now it's Hatcook. It is a clean, clear and pleasant kitchen space, from which you can consult all kinds of recipes. They are all made by home chefs, so Hatcook is really a kind of social network for amateur cooks.

The interesting thing: navigating the application is very easy. In fact, you have a very clear classification according to the type of dish. The recipes are well written and contain all the necessary elements (number of diners, ingredients and instructions).

You will be able to listen to some recipes or watch videos, if their owners have recorded them, to follow the instructions more easily. If you dare, you can also upload yours and comment on other people's recipes.

5. Vivino

Graphically it is a very nice application. Vivino has a clean look, combining burgundy (of course) with whites. You can sign up by logging into Facebook or Google and you won't have to do much else. We could say that it is one of the best applications related to the world of wine, because it includes a good number of functionalities.

You can search by specific names. Or if you prefer, choose by variety, designation of origin or country Another option is to select by food. So that if you have to combine a wine with a cheese, a meat or a fish, you can get concrete recommendations.

Obviously, you can also read user ratings and observe the scores.You will find the average price per bottle and you will have the option of directly accessing an online store to buy that copy. We like it because in addition to being well done, it is an application that includes almost all possible varieties. We have tried it with very local wines, including signature wines, and it has worked.
